3d printing with Nano Polymer Adhesive from Visionminer com

Today on the Technivorous channel we're going to be taking a look at some lovely items sent to me from visionminer.com including the nanopolymer adhesive. Technivorous channel is brought to you by these fine patreon supporters. Check us out on patreon at patreon.com slash technivorous. Hey folks, Technivorous here. I recently received a beautiful gift package from the people over at visionminer.com and they have sent me a few samples of their nanopolymer adhesive to test out. We're going to be doing just that today. They also sent me a few other things as well as some samples of different materials. These are basically swatches of each material listing what the material is printed using the nanopolymer adhesive and these are all high temperature materials. Now this does work with lower temperature materials as well but I have some high temperature materials that it was designed for and they have also sent me a hardened steel nozzle. I really really like these nozzle cases. Normally they come loose in a package and I have to dig it out of the bottom of the box so that's really really cool and it is for the E3-V6 so we will be able to put that right on the printer and print some carbon fiber filaments testing out the nanopolymer adhesive but they also sent me some extra ones to give away as well as some samples so today you'll have your chance to win your own test package of the nanopolymer adhesive and two runners up will be receiving a bonus vial. I have another idea in mind for giving away the last full package and single vial so this this month we're going to be running the large bottle just this size exactly like this it comes with this the instructions the brush and we'll even throw in a sticker to the grand prize winner and then two runners up we'll be getting the little bottles that come with the instructions the brushes and they can try it out for themselves now there's a lot of information about this stuff and about Vision Miner down below in the description so make sure that you check that out pop over there and see what they have on offer because they have some pretty good deals on some pretty amazing stuff that being said let's jump right into this we're going to throw some carbon fiber onto the Ender 3 V2 but first we need to change to that hardened steel nozzle. All right I have a handy dandy instruction card here and it is pretty simple step one clean the build plate use water Windex or alcohol pretty self-explanatory definitely going to need to do that here although it's not as bad as it looks because we're going to be using the other side of this apply adhesive use bottle like a pen draw your print service evenly area spread evenly and then the temperature difference here is pretty simply put the polymer cools at a different rate than the glass so if you're printing something that uses a temperature above 300 you need to remove it while it's hot otherwise when it cools it can break the glass so if you're below 300 wait for the part to cool and remove it and if you're above 300 remove the part while it's still hot so we are going to be below that 300 mark today we're printing with some carbon fiber first in fact I'm going to be testing out something that I really really like it is a talman t-glaze filament and I can only get it to stick to blue painter's tape so the first test of this nano polymer adhesive that we're going to run is to see if I can get this stuff to stick to a glass bed using this adhesive so let's check it out all right so we have loaded up the talman filament we need to go ahead and flip this build plate over see if we can get it a little bit cleaner and we're going to be printing at 245 today talman is a little higher temperature which is good because it should be a fair test I think of the capabilities of this stuff real quick so let's go ahead just flip this build plate I've never used the other side of this it is pretty well immaculate there is a little bit of dirt and residue on the corner where the screws sit so I am going to have a rag with some alcohol on it I'm going to run over those real quickly and just make sure that we're doing our due diligence when it comes to the cleaning because that was one of the first things that it said the first step is clean your build plate so I think we're looking pretty good right there so we'll go ahead and clip it on see we got some drippage there from I like it upside down because it's flat all right so we're all cleaned up now the second step is to use the bottle like a pen draw your print surface area and spread evenly we're going to be printing a rather large box it's going to look identical to this one right here except we're going to be doing it in this tea glaze so we need to get a decent size area covered with this it says push down and turn we have done that so to draw this print surface like a pen we are going to spread that out using the brush that they gave me here first I need to prepare one more thing here you know the bed just jumped off on me I'm just getting ready here I'm going to make sure that it's up to temp so I'm doing this properly don't worry it'll pause here in just a moment or maybe it won't but I think we have it pretty well spread around so yep there it goes with the pause I did manage to get it pretty evenly spread so we're just going to continue so it'll stop there for a second might take a second to heat back up once this stuff dries on the build plate you really cannot see it at all I'm not sure that it's dried per se on the build plate looks really tacky but it's not very overtly visible let's see if we can get some good adhesion here and keep this tea glaze from lifting off the glass surface which I've had some trouble with before as I said without blue paint painters tape now it is time for the real test we are moving again let's see what happens this is the skirt and getting a nice layer although I did not put adhesive that far out and see it lifting a little bit in the back there already like I said this filament is pretty fickle so you have to get it just right in order to get it print properly I think this adhesive if it works as advertised should do wonders for the problems that I've had with this in the past and we're good ways into this model now as you can see we have a little bit of stringing but that is the filament itself what we are looking for here is adhesion and amazingly all four corners of this model are still thoroughly glued to the bed I have no warping lifting or bending which is virtually unheard of for this filament for me at least when not printing on anything other than blue painters tape so so far really really impressed with this nano polymer adhesive definitely recommend it if you're using a tea glaze like material I wanted to show you how well this print came out so we're going to take a look at all four corners here you can see they are very very flat I had no lifting on this which is amazing like I said normally I require blue painters tape to get this talman's tea glaze to stick and even then sometimes it can be kind of finicky but this is gorgeous I have four perfect corners and the adhesion was as it should be it so really really impressed with this stuff so far because this is a really difficult filament to work with that's going to be it for this video guys pay no attention to the mess going on behind me pay more attention to the mess going on on my shirt check this out finally got
